about

BEHIND THE SONG: "Sisyphus of Greek myth becomes a crazed depression era Indiana farmer whose only friend is his trustworthy mule." ~ David Olney

lyrics

Roll This Stone written by David Olney and John Hadley (Red Lilly Music, ASCAP; Hadley Six Music, BMI)

I'm gonna roll this roll this stone
I'm gonna roll this roll this stone
I'm gonna roll this roll this stone
Don't want your help, I wanna do it alone
I wanna roll this roll this stone

I'm goin' to the top from the bottom to the top of the hill
I'm goin' to the top from the bottom to the top of the hill
I'm goin' to the top from the bottom of the hill
I don't care if it gets me killed
I'm gonna roll this roll this stone

Me and this mule gonna plow this cold hard ground
Til me and this poor old mule both fall down

I'm gonna dig a hole so deep I can't get out
I'm gonna dig a hole so deep I can't get out
I'll dig a hole so deep I can't get out
When I get to the bottom, gonna jump and shout
I'm gonna roll this roll this stone
